September 24, 2019

Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Hero Arts & Lawn Fawn for a special blog hop to launch their partnership stamp set called Big Thanks.

Hero Arts & Lawn Fawn-Big Thanks

I used quite a few dies by Lawn Fawn to create this fun little scene. For the background I used the Itsy Bitsy Polka Dot Backdrop die. I added some hills using the Stitched Hillside Backdrop: Landscape die, and for the frame I used one of the Stitched Scallop Rectangle Frames dies.

I colored the adorable images from Big Thanks with Copics, and added the rainbow banner using the Bunting Borders dies. I embossed the sentiment from Big Thanks and die cut it using one of the Everyday Sentiment Banners.
